Penn State Wireless is designed for use by 802.11 wireless capable laptops such as those that have either a built-in wireless chipset or a wireless network interface card (NIC), which fit into the PCMCIA card slots of laptops. We have found that 802.11b wireless capable laptops are not compatible with the new Penn State Wireless 2.0 service. In addition, 802.11g users may need to download driver updates from the vendor and 802.11a/n devices should work fine but may need a firmware driver upgrade in order to access the Penn State Wireless 2.0 network.
